Why did we make Tiny Shadows Interwoven Hearts?
We started with a small, low-budget game to work through the production process and discover its pitfalls for ourselves.

Development notes, updates and studio stories about Tiny Shadows Interwoven Hearts.
Lin Mo is an ordinary programmer.
Less than a year out of university, the enthusiasm he once had has worn away under the daily grind. His life runs between the office, his rented room and a familiar café, with little to break the routine.
He thought things would always stay that way.
Until one afternoon, when a mysterious young woman whose appearance belies her age steps into his uneventful life.
A misunderstanding that leaves him unsure whether to laugh or cry brings him together with a girl named Su Youqing. Lin Mo gradually discovers that this sharp-tongued, tsundere girl seems to hide many secrets that belie her innocent looks.
For Lin Mo, who has long lost the will to change, could this meeting at a café be the chance to break free of his dull routine?

A mysterious young woman Lin Mo meets at the café near his office, usually drawing in a quiet corner. Petite and much younger-looking than her age, she is actually a university graduate already making her own way in the world.
Mischievous by nature, she loves sharp remarks and playful teasing, especially watching Lin Mo’s flustered reactions. She always acts haughty and in control, but a sincere compliment or a little kindness leaves her at a loss in an instant, revealing the vulnerability beneath.
An exceptionally gifted freelance illustrator, she becomes completely absorbed in her own world whenever she picks up her drawing tablet to create, oblivious to everything around her.
She thinks of Lin Mo as “the toy with the most entertaining reactions to teasing”, but without realising it, she gradually drops every pretence around him.
